A funeral is one of the most emotionally significant and unifying moments in a family’s life. While it may seem unconventional, having a funeral photographed can offer profound healing and lasting connection. It allows families to honor a loved one’s life, preserve the presence of those who came to grieve and celebrate, and document the love, support, and shared memory that often emerge in moments of sorrow. Kirsten Lewis is an internationally acclaimed documentary photographer known for her deep sensitivity and ability to find quiet beauty in even the hardest moments. With over 25 years of experience documenting real family stories, Kirsten approaches funerals with great care and discretion—capturing intimate gestures, comforting embraces, and multigenerational presence without intrusion. Her work is never about the spectacle of grief, but about honoring life and love.These photographs become a visual record of connection—of hands held, tears wiped, stories shared, and lives touched. For many families, they offer comfort, reflection, and a way to revisit the community that gathered in remembrance. When the memory fades or the emotions feel overwhelming, the images help ground loved ones in the truth: they were held, supported, and not alone.
